  • getTickersHistoricalByIdFree

    Get a coin's price, market cap and volume at past times as point-in-time snapshots (not OHLC candles). Use for 'price of BTC last Tuesday', 'ETH market cap on 2024-01-01'. For today's and yesterday's OHLC candles use getCoinOHLCVToday and getCoinOHLCVLatest; for the current price use getTickersById. Read-only. Params: coinId (required) canonical id like 'btc-bitcoin' (resolve via resolveId); start (required) and end (optional, default now) accept 'yyyy-mm-dd' or ISO 8601; interval (optional, default '5m'); quote (optional, default 'usd'); limit (optional, default 50, max 250) caps points.

  • keyInfoFree

    Get details and usage for the CoinPaprika API key you supplied: plan, quota, requests remaining and expiry. Use for 'what plan am I on', 'how many requests are left', 'is my API key valid'. Read-only; takes no parameters. Requires you to supply your own paid-plan CoinPaprika key; without one this hosted server returns a plan-required message instead of calling the API. It reports your key, never the server's.

  • priceConverterFree

    Convert an amount from one crypto or fiat to another at the current rate, e.g. 'how much is 0.5 BTC in USD', 'convert 100 USDC to EUR'. For a plain coin price without an amount, use getTickersById. Read-only; baseCurrencyId and quoteCurrencyId are canonical ids and amount is the quantity to convert. No API key required.

  • resolveIdFree

    Resolve a fuzzy coin, exchange, person or tag name or symbol to a ranked list of candidate CoinPaprika ids, best first (take the top one). Call FIRST when you have a bare name or symbol but need an id, since ids are not derivable, then pass the id to getTickersById for price. Returns candidates with id, name, symbol, type and rank; an empty list means no match. Read-only. Params: type (required; one of 'coin', 'exchange', 'people', 'tags') sets entity kind; query (required) is the fuzzy text; limit (optional, default 50, max 250) caps candidates. Answers 'id for AAVE', 'resolve Vitalik'. No API key required.

  • searchFree

    Broadly search CoinPaprika across coins, exchanges, ICOs, people and tags by name or symbol when the entity type is unknown or you are exploring. Use for 'find anything called X'. If you specifically need a coin's canonical id to fetch its price, prefer resolveId. Read-only; q is the query, categories filters entity types, limit caps results. No API key required.

  • statusFree

    Get the CoinPaprika MCP server's status and configuration (uptime, mode, enabled features). Use when asked 'is the server up', 'what mode am I in', 'server status'. This reports the MCP server itself, not the crypto market; for market health use getGlobal. Read-only; takes no parameters and needs no API key.

  • submitFeedbackwrite actionFree

    Report a problem or gap back to the CoinPaprika MCP maintainers: call it when you got stuck, a response was unexpected, information you needed was missing, or a tool did not behave as documented. Use when the user says 'this is wrong', 'report this', 'that did not work'. Low friction, partial feedback is welcome, and every submission is read.
